I have visited Seoul and Busan twice but you visited different interesting places in Seoul. I will refer to your itinerary for my next visit.

We didn't get to go to Busan this time, maybe next time then.

Keeping both the planned and actual itinerary makes the rain changes easy to understand. What did you order at Myeongdong Kyoja that made it worth returning on your last day? Repeat meals are often a more convincing recommendation than trying to fit a different restaurant into every stop.
